82 | Rico Lewis - 2022/23 Performances

[Decepticon]

I was there with his Grandad again tonight, fantastic performance again. He gets better with every game and there's so much more to come from him.
It's all a bit surreal that my mates grandson plays for City and has such a bright future.

Excellent, you're going to be our ITK for future transfers replacing our Tolmie. ;-)

Refusing to get excited....

....However, I am excited.

As an inverted fullback he does the role very very well, but as an out and out fullback he will struggle against top wingers. I think at the end of the day he just suits the way Pep wants his fullbacks to play, but at any other top club he could struggle to hit the heights.
He’s not not better than Trent or James as a traditional fullback

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I think people mistake the obvious downsides of the inverted role - mainly being 15 yards into midfield while simultaneous marking a winger on the touchline - with being slow.

Walker was written off by many on here because Saint-Maximin had the better of him 1v1 when he was playing the inverted role, a month later he's matching possibly the fastest player on the planet stride for stride in a world cup quarter final.

And after injury. Prior to Kyle's operation, he annihilates Mbappe for pace.

Tolmie is so 2022.

 

[Tevez City]

Let him start the next league game.

Thats how you reward outstanding performance.

Like Foden he is almost completely press resistant. That’s a hell of a trait to have coming out of the academy.

Saved us £50m and still has a few years to learn and progress under Walker yet too. Brilliant
